Chamber survey shows optimism in local economy

A recent Chillicothe-Ross Chamber of Commerce survey of members shows a growing optimism in the direction of the local economy.

According the chamber newsletter, 75 percent of chamber members said they are doing better or about the same as a year ago, and 88 percent expect this year to be "OK" or "good." Almost a fourth of the 74 members who responded to the survey expect to have more employees in the next six months, and 66 percent expected to hold steady on employee numbers.

The respondents were not as optimistic about the national economy, with 77 percent indicating it was headed in the wrong direction.
